Very friendly, very stylish decor and very comfortable beds.

Kate on reception was a very willing and helpful accomplice for my surprise weekend for my husbands birthday - both before and during our stay. Thanks for making us feel so welcome and advising on the the last minute details. We started and ended a long weekend here staying in both a comfort room and then a deluxe river view room. They were comfortable and spacious although the massage shower, view, and even comfier bed in the deluxe were much appreciated. It did however feel much colder in the garden facing comfort room - perhaps the curtains covering the radiator isn’t the best idea - although it does look pretty. Bathroom floor was freezing, although if we had found the complimentary slippers a bit earlier it wouldn’t have been such a problem. The heated towel rail was very much appreciated for drying out wet clothes and pre warming socks.
Location is beside the river with a 5 minutes to the town centre and castle (now county offices or something) but there is a beautiful view from up there.
Breakfast is served in the restaurant contrast offering a continental buffet (juices, cereals, tropical fruit salad, yogurt, toast and mini pastries). Followed by something from the menu (currently Scottish porridge, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, full Scottish breakfast, smoked haddock and poached eggs, pancakes with bacon and maple syrup or french toast). All stylishly served, yummy and plenty to keep you going...Kate on reception was a very willing and helpful accomplice for my surprise weekend for my husbands birthday - both before and during our stay.

We ate at both Contrast (bistro) and Abstract (fine dining) restaurants. It is clear the chef was the same, as the quality at the bistro is very high. The piano bar between the two restaurants, is relaxed and stylish with an array of whisky’s. Shame we didn't have time to test them out. We enjoyed a cocktail in here before our sumptuous 7 course tasting meal at Abstract.

There is a great ambience in the restaurants and across the hotel. Beautiful mix of classic dark wood furniture and modern black and white abstract art that is a theme throughout. Really enjoyable stay and would definitely stay here again if we are in these parts again.More

Room tip: We were in the Windsor Suite (the adjacent house) for both nights on the ground floor. You need to ask if you want to be in the main house. River views may be better from a higher floor.

Review tags are currently only available for English language reviews.

Having read some of the positive reviews and overall rating I looked forward to a 2 night break with my wife. I booked a Club Double room with breakfast included and requested a river view as stated in the room category description. We were given a room across the car park in the Windsor House adjacent to the main building. The room was smaller than expected, cold, had a sloping roof and the furniture was to bulky for the size of the room. When getting in or out of the bed on the right hand side access was restricted by the sloping roof. The bathroom, tiled wall and floor was absolutely freezing, using the facilities and walking on the floor was a chilling experience, my wife remarked it was the coldest bathroom of any hotel we had visited. The window blind when down had some mould spots. The shower pressure was reasonable but the cubicle was small. During the night we used the electric heater from the cupboard to keep warm as the central heating was inadequate. The window double glazing was not effective and the external wall cold. It was a challenge to use the bathroom facilities day or night. Slippers would have helped as indicated in the room facilities but there were none. Tea and coffee making facilities were supplied but there was only one normal tea bag, 2 flavoured so I went and asked reception for additional and got told they would be delivered to my room which never happened. A supplementary facility place within the Windsor House would be good idea for guests requiring extra tea, coffee, sugar, or milk rather than go outside to the main hotel.Breakfast was less than expected from a 4 star hotel may have been better off in the Holiday Inn Express and warmer.Close to the town centre and there is free parking but the back and side of the hotel it is very dark needs lighting. Finding the hotel initially I agree with a previous comment signage is very poor even the local postie did not know the location and he was less than 50 metres from the hotel when asked. The one way traffic system does not help matters either.On departure I commented to hotel receptionist about cold bathroom, room and she said she would pass on my feedback. It is not the first time people have commented on room temperature or size. From other people`s reviews, some rooms must be better than others, it is a hit or miss. Would I use the hotel again or recommend to others, no.

Room tip: Rooms in the main building are better.

We stayed in the Glenmoriston for two nights in January, as a part of a small Highlands getaway. The hotel is well situated on Ness bank, easy to drive to with on-site parking and walking distance from the tourist attractions of Inverness.

We were fortunate enough to get a riverside view, which was very pleasant as the water and bridge are beautiful. The room itself was a little cramped, but not to the extend that it was uncomfortable. I have stayed in far smaller rooms for the same price. The bed was very comfortable, and our bathroom was beautifully clean with a great shower (always important). My only complaint would be that the room was very cold at night, despite the heating being set to full. Understandably our stay was in the middle of January, in the far north of Scotland and I'm sure this problem doesn't exist at other times of year.

Breakfast was fantastic, with a good selection of choices. I opted for the cooked breakfast and it was very, very tasty. WiFi was free and fast. Big plus!

Kate, the receptionist who looked after our entire stay, was incredibly helpful and should be commended for her work. We had been worried about driving conditions due to the time of year, and Kate went out of her way to provide us with information to assist in our journey. She was very polite during our stay and always eager to help.

All in all, a great place to stay if you're looking to see Inverness. Try to get a riverside view room and don't be surprised if its a little nippy.

Room tip: Rooms on the river side are worth asking for!

We booked an upgraded room so were not impressed we were in the rear of the Hotel looking out onto the back rather than at the Ness River. But the bed was fine, wardrobe a little cramped, made us think we had been given a standard room. Good breakfast and on the last day early enough to be able to catch the Highland Chieftain back down south even thouh it was a Saturday

Hotel is nice but we were put in the annex across the car park and put in a room on top floor. It was extremely small with sloping roof, I had to lean over to get into bed. Bedroom furniture is decent quality but looking very tired.There was a draft and because it was december this caused the room to cold.(very cold) Very disappointed with the room, no way an executive suite as we booked.

Always difficult when you get a review like this. No one likes reading them, particularly when it is at complete odds with all our previous reviews.

Clearly we got it wrong for you and I hope you will accept my apologies. The room type you had booked was a Club room (our mid category) which are based between the Town House and Windsor House . I would have hoped you might have given us a chance to put it right for you during your visit. For you to leave before advising is such a shame.

I hope that we can welcome you back and we can redeem ourselves.

My husband and I went to stay at the Glenmoriston on the eve of our wedding day. We thought there would be nothing nicer than staying in a lovely room and enjoying a relaxing bath after the stressful weeks of organisation. We were sorely disappointed and actually disgusted with the reality of our stay!!

On checking in we discovered there was no bath even though the hotel's own website detailed that for the type of room I booked (the most expensive) there was a bath and shower in each room. I contacted reception and was told that not all rooms had a bath and that I would have had to phone and request one in advance. Really??!! Should I have checked that the room had a bed too??!!

I eventually managed to speak to a Manager and explained about their own website claims which he said he would look in to. This was by no means satisfactory to us as it did not help our situation one little bit!! They were unwilling to do anything for us. We would have been better staying at home and not wasting the money for services that were promised and not supplied. Incidentally, the website was changed almost instantly so they were fully aware of their error but we were not compensated in any way!! Very poor customer service with absolutely no focus on customer satisfaction!!

In addition to the false advertising we also discovered large rips in the quilt cover, bloodstains on the bedding and a bath towel stained with what can only be described as a ladies monthly stain!!! This was only discovered when trying to dry off after a shower. Needless to stay, I had no choice but to use the hand towel instead!!

If all this wasn't bad enough, I also booked a room for my mum and step dad thinking it would be a lovely treat. In their room (also the most expensive room type) there were torn chairs, cracked sharp tiles on the bathroom floor, layers of dust in the bedroom, toothpaste stains at the sink and down the walls and the toilet was filthy to mention just a few things. My Step dad stated that he had stayed in nicer £40 a night travel lodges!!

A thoroughly disappointing and stressful experience the night before our big day!!!

What I learned....don't believe a word they say on their website!!!

My advice....don't waste your money, stay somewhere else!!
